Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes feature 3 collections, or divisions, of thrusters: pair of sets of attitude power thrusters and one collection of trajectory adjustment procedure thrusters. During the mission's wandering flybys, both forms of thrusters were actually used for various reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 journeys on a constant road away from the solar system, its own thruster demands are less complex, as well as either thruster division may be utilized to point the spacecraft at The planet.
